Come On the Veranda Amanda

Come out on the Veranda Amanda For the sun is setting soon We will speak of love with candour As we stroll beneath the moon I will strum upon my mando- -lin, choose sweetest songs to croon For you are my heart’s commander And your nearness makes me swoon As we let our steps meander Through the twilight, petal strewn Will you take my hand and pander To my passion til eftsoon Like an unrestrained crash lander On an outer planet moon I shall die, a salamander In your fire to be consumed
